Mike Skinner

The Streets star Mike Skinner has credited his young daughter with helping him keep out of trouble following years of hard partying.

The Fit But You Know It hitmaker, who has previously admitted to dabbling in drugs, dotes on young Amelia, who was born in 2009, and is adamant she's the reason he gave up his wild lifestyle.

He tells Britain's The Sun, "I'm not an addict. I'm just a normal person. The demons have always been there. But I'm a father now. It's not that difficult to not get into trouble because at the end of the day you still have to care for your child. That's probably the one thing that's changed me more than anything - the responsibility of being a father."

Skinner and his wife Claire Le Marquand are expecting their second child later this year
